Options that matter on site
- Pit work. We sort the pit too, from re-edging an old one to detailing a new one.
- Door interlocks. Linking the leveller and door controls prevents either one being used out of sequence.
- Swing-lip levellers. Robust hinged-lip levellers for standard trailer traffic.
- Commissioning. Each leveller tested and handed over with records and instructions.
- Telescopic lips. A sliding lip that reaches further and lands exactly where the driver needs it.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a mechanical leveller with a hydraulic unit that has single-button automatic operation and a velocity fuse.
- Re-edging and repairing a damaged pit before fitting a replacement leveller at a manufacturing site.
- Fitting telescopic-lip levellers for a fleet whose trailers do not always park tight against the dock buffers.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Abergavenny the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Abergavenny
Can our dock leveller in Abergavenny be interlocked with the door?
Yes. We fit interlocks so the leveller only operates with the door fully open, and the door cannot close while the leveller is deployed. It suits both new and existing bays, subject to the controls on each.
Do you install levellers on new-build sites around Abergavenny?
Yes. We provide pit details to your groundworks contractor early, supply box-frame or pit-fitted levellers and install them to the main contractor's programme, along with doors and shelters if needed.
How long does it take to fit a dock leveller in Abergavenny?
A single leveller into a prepared pit is typically fitted and commissioned in a day. Pit repairs or modifications can add time, and we plan work around your loading schedule, bay by bay.
